Tips for beginners.

• Always play e4, d4, e5, or d5 as your first move
• Make sure to develop your bishop and knights
• Castle to bring your King to a safe position

Another tip: Open up analysis in another tab and copy the moves played. It will suggest moves for you! 😃😃😃

Thanks, @AaravKeshari_01-777 & @ 654Psyfox

Good tips

Always give check.

It might be mate!

Don't concentrate on one area. Always look out for other possibilities

Always prefer strategic and solid openings than tricky openings.

At a bit higher elo (800+) do not always give checks. At 400 elo it might work.

This is called cheating.

Tips for beginners are the worst thing.

Not many won't be on one of the following lists:

1) Tips given by players that are so low in level, they don't understand what they are talking about as they try to repeat tips of various and random value.

2) Tips given by much stronger players who don't want to know the next few years will be spent in getting rid of bad habits induced by these lazy tips.

3) Tips given for commercial reasons. if good or bad, these tips aim not at your improvement, but at making you spit out your money in a way or an other.

Chess is not made of tips. Tips do work out poorly for chess. Wanting tips means you're scared of working, scared of sports discipline. It makes you a weakling, unfit for high achievements of any kind.

Learning the hard and slow way is the royal way, except if, maybe, you're gifted with photographic memory or the like.

I spoke.

@blueemu lol that's a good one

bribe your opponent and win EZZ (strat recommended only for rich people, such as me I AM NOT POOR DONT SAY IM POOR YOU LITTLE)

Not entirely true, as tips such as developing your pieces and such are very basic yet useful tips for beginners. Its not shameful to start out low and need to ask for a little bit of advice to play better in your games. Chess is a game about learning and adapting. This includes tips, advices and self coaching. Don't talk bad about tips, as they are useful for many beginners. Maybe take a bit of time to see which tips are bad and good and THEN only start talking.

I spoke.

And anyway commercial tips don't even exist in chess, if you pay money its for coaching (or premium) not tips buddy. RESEARCH PROPERLY BEFORE YAPPING.

Follow opening principles

I do agree with you, learning hard and slow is good, but take the advice of others as it still improves your game slightly if you are a beginner (unless the tips are garbage and useless)

#12 Your views on tips are interesting. Could you please elaborate. Also, what is the definition of 'tips' in your opinion. From your comment, I derive that you think 'tips' are similar to short cuts, is it that way?

A tip is a shortcut. Such thing can be justified when there is time pressure or lack of time (like a tip given in a tournament right before round begins). But no, you can't learn chess out of a cereal box plastic thingie.

The so arrogant replies of that 1100+ talking so bold and insulting to a 2100+ is an illustration of 1): low level players trying to exist, believing that yelling louder makes it truer what they babble.

As for illustrating 2), I'll tell you, I've been painfully stucked in front of the board in classical rated games, for not being able to figure out where to place my Queen's Bishop, when I felt the urge to "connect my Rooks" in a position where the Bishop was best sitting home as a reservist. Every time I ended up playing a damagefull move, and it took me years before I switched to the pragmatic Russian approach of chess: "it works, or it doesn't work, no principles".

If you care to study some opening lines, you'll see the theory is actually full of moves that do ignore them stoopid "tips for beginners".

Best study strategy and endgames on a board, as for tactics, that's a thing you do calculate.

Commercial tips are, of course, not tips made, created nor invented by merchants. They just don't care if it'll be good or bad for you, it needs to impress you, so maybe you'll purchase something from them. Which is why you can't trust them. Also, as soon you'll be strong enough, they'll lose you as potential client, so, best make you believe you'll be strong, but slowly, very slowly, so you keep paying maybe, cos once you're strong, you don't need them and their idle talk.
